[Foundation-l] funraising thru celebrity endorsements?

We were chattering about having Stephen Hawking do a funraising banner
(Trevor made up one), and speculating how well they'd do. You could even
serve up diffferent banners based on the categories. If it's a page about
physics, serve up the Hawk banner. If science fiction, Charles Stross or
whomever else. If they visit the Angelina Jolie page, they get to see the
Angelina Jolie banner. Who knows?? Maybe we could make it COOL to have a
Wikipedia fundraising banner, just like it was COOL to be a guest on the
Muppet Show, or it's COOL to have your own animated character on The
Simpsons.  I'm thinking that a short video clip like "I'm Freeman Dyson and
I want you to support wikipedia.".

Seems like something that could easily be tested.
